"And... I think I can fly!"
As she finished speaking, Gwen actually unfurled a pair of massive red bat wings, identical to those Gorr had earlier!
Then, with a gentle flap of her wings, she took off into the air and hovered in mid-air!
"Wow, I can really fly! Gwen, did you see that? Can you fly too?"
Gwen floated in mid-air, waving at the Main Universe Gwen below, shouting excitedly.
?
Main Universe Gwen's face darkened at this.
No, sis, is this right?
It's one thing that your Symbiote makes your physique so much stronger than mine, but you can also fly?
You're showing off to me, right?
You are definitely showing off to me, aren't you!
After saying that, Gwen finally noticed the death glare the Main Universe Gwen was casting at her from below.
Thinking of the Main Universe Gwen's usual black-bellied personality where she always repaid grudges, Gwen's heart skipped a beat. She quickly dispelled the bat wings behind her, landed beside the Main Universe Gwen, and hugged her arm, acting coquettishly.
"Gwen, no, Gwen-sister, that's not what I meant. I meant that it doesn't matter if you can't fly; in the future, I can take you flying!"
Hearing this, the Main Universe Gwen's face grew even darker, and she revealed a black-bellied smile: "So you really like flying, huh? Your physique has strengthened by at least ten times, right? Fine, then next time, you can deal with Ryan all by yourself. I'll let you 'fly' to your heart's content!"
Gwen: ?
Is the 'flying' you're talking about the same 'flying' I'm talking about?
Gwen made a tearful face and hugged the Main Universe Gwen's arm tightly: "No, no, no! Gwen, I've already gotten used to the sense of security when you're around. Don't abandon me all by myself!"
However, the Main Universe Gwen just turned her head away, completely adopting an 'I'm not listening, I'm not listening' attitude.
Listening to the suggestive words from the two young girls, Ryan couldn't help but slap his own face.
These two girls, really. Do they actually think that with the Symbiote's enhancement, they can handle him alone?
What a joke!
A mere ten-fold increase in physique is nowhere near enough!
It would need to be at least a hundred times their current physique to have some fun with him!
Otherwise, he would still have to be a bit 'careful'...
"Alright, stop messing around for now. When we get home, I'll play along. Now that the big BOSS has already given us such a big welcoming gift, it's time for us to go give the big BOSS a return gift!"
In the end, it was Ryan speaking up that made the two Gwens stop their bickering.
Upon hearing Ryan say they were going to see Knull, Riot's expression became visibly tense.
Even though it was no longer the same as it used to be, having become powerful to a level it previously dared not even imagine.
But the moment it thought about meeting the source of fear for all Symbiotes, it couldn't help but feel its legs trembling.
After all, that was the God of their Symbiotes, Knull, the King in Black!
It was a terrifying existence that they had previously managed to seal only by gathering the power of all Symbiotes and taking advantage of Knull being heavily injured and unprepared, at a huge cost!
Therefore, Riot looked melancholy: "Um... Boss, Knull is too strong. I feel we must go to deal with him in our most powerful state. So, how about I return to your body to help you first, and you put on the destroyer armor?"
Ryan glanced at Riot, seeing through its little scheme in 0.5 seconds, and said disdainfully: "If you're scared, just say you're scared. 'Most powerful state,' my foot. Without you and the destroyer armor, am I not strong?"
Riot also spent only 0.5 seconds before giving in: "That's right, Boss, I'm scared!"
Just thinking about facing Knull directly, Riot felt that only inside Ryan's body could it feel a sense of security!
So it didn't try to act tough at all!
Watching Riot, which was wearing the best armor, standing with the straightest posture, and saying the most cowardly words, Ryan was left speechless.
"Sigh, forget it, get back in here..."
"Hehe, alright!"
Hearing Ryan's permission, Riot chuckled, immediately walked up to Ryan, and opened the destroyer armor from the back.
After opening it, inside was not Riot's body as one might imagine, but empty.
In reality, Riot itself was within the metal of the destroyer armor, not in a cockpit.
Riot was equivalent to Jarvis in Tony's iron man armor, belonging to an internal system. Controlling the destroyer armor was just remote operation, not actually being a pilot.
And when Ryan walked into the three-meter-tall destroyer armor, the destroyer armor would be directly taken over by him.
Furthermore, the destroyer armor rapidly shrank from its three-meter-tall automatic form, finally transforming into a two-meter-tall silver-grey medieval armor form that matched Ryan's height!
As the head armor opened, it revealed Ryan's angular face.
This was Ryan's first time wearing the destroyer armor.
The moment he put it on, he indeed felt his strength receive a terrifying boost.
And it wasn't an enhancement in just one aspect, but an all-around strengthening.
There were even some powers he didn't possess that were constantly amplifying his strength from all aspects.
For instance, he could feel the various elements in the air becoming intimate with him; when fighting, these elements would become his assistance.
For example, wind—for enemies it is resistance, but for him, wearing the destroyer armor, it is a driving force, making him faster, with faster attack speed as well!
For example, the earth—for enemies, crashing into the ground means injury, but for him, as long as he touches the ground, he can continuously obtain the enhancement of the earth's power!
And there are various other special effect enhancements from other elements that won't be listed one by one...
And these should be the blessings from the Gods.
No wonder Odin could slay members of the Celestials while wearing the destroyer armor, and didn't even die under the dog-piling of the Celestials.
This thing's functions are simply not just numerous, they are not just comprehensive at all!
"So... so cool!"
The two Gwens were stunned, looking at Ryan in his metallic, medieval-style armor.
In this era where everyone is a Superhero in spandex, Ryan's outfit was truly exceptionally eye-catching!
By comparison, the two Gwens suddenly felt that the Symbiote suits they had just acquired weren't so appealing anymore!
"Cool? It can get even cooler~"
Watching the Gwens' eyes light up at him, Ryan felt playful and let his mind wander.
In the next instant, seven-colored Ten Rings appeared behind him, the energy rings connected, and finally extended from Ryan's shoulders all the way to his feet, actually forming a seven-colored energy cloak made of the Ten Rings!
That wasn't all.
Then, Ryan clenched his right hand, and a gold-red all-black the necrosword appeared in his right hand.
He clenched his left hand, and the Infinity Six Rings were embedded onto the left hand armor. In an instant, the Infinity Six Rings spread out on his left hand, forming a six-colored energy shield on Ryan's left arm!
What is a f***ing god-tier outfit?
This is what you call a f***ing god-tier outfit!
Absolute defense in the left hand, absolute damage in the right, and an auto-defending Ten Rings cloak on the back!
